Retiring an Old Friend

IMG_3399 So basically I have either been pregnant or breastfeeding since July 2012, so basically forever. But I have now entered an unfamiliar territory and I am not sure how I feel about it. I truly enjoyed breastfeeding and absolutely loved that special time with my babies, although towards the end with Hutton it got a little physical. He loved to push my face around while feeding, it was like trying to wrangle a monkey while latched on to my nipple. Good thing at this point nothing really hurts anymore. Aside from missing that emotional connection and special time, there is a far more pressing issue with this new change! FOOD! I have been eating like a linebacker for the past 4 years and truly loving every minute of it. SO now I am in this new territory and I am not sure how my body is going to adjust. Prior to having my babies, I had a lot of food intolerance’s, basically my body rejected so many foods that it made me sick and gave me migraines. So for years I cut out all dairy, eggs, corn, pinto beans, rice, and almonds. SO basically EVERYTHING! Meals were pretty uneventful for me and if you know me, you would know that my whole day is planned around my meals. I love to eat! So you can appreciate that when I got pregnant and my body started calling for these things that I had cut out of my diet for so long, this girl was pretty happy. I had no problem eating whatever I wanted and trust me have I been taking full advantage. I have been enjoying every second, but now I come to a crossroads and I am not sure how my body will react now that I am no longer breastfeeding. Wish me luck and hopefully I can continue eating what I love, maybe just a little less!:) And I guess that means I have to start working out. Hmm, where do I even begin. Well that is a whole other post for another day!

    Best of luck on the transition. I am currently breastfeeding my 3rd and its the first time I am exclusively breastfeeding. I am more hungry now then when I was pregnant. Makes me worried how my body will also react once our breastfeeding journey is over. Your children are adorable, I follow you on instagram. I was a avid 7th Heaven watcher when it was originally on. I now turn on the reruns for my oldest bc although she is only 6 years old. I know the content of the show was always family orientated. I look forward to reading more of your blogs, us moms need to stick together. Its always good to know we all go through similar issues regardless of being in the public eye like your self or just a stay at home mom in NY. 🙂

Sometimes life experiences change you, but to ever Sometimes life experiences change you, but to everyone else you look the same. But you are not, you are different. It’s hard to put into words and hard to explain, but there is a shift! A recalibration of sorts, that changes your makeup forever. I am grateful for these seismic changes though scary because in the long run they make me better! #wiser #tougher #stronger #thisisme #unfiltered #changed #raw #mondaymotivation Anyone else feel the change?
